\n" ); document.write( "Jack is 2 times as old as Lacy. 7 years from now the sum of their ages will be
\n" ); document.write( "59.How old are they now?
\n" ); document.write( "

Seven years from now the sum of their ages will be 59, so currently, the sum of their ages is 59 - 2(7), or 59 - 14 = 45
\n" );
document.write( "With Lacy's age being L, Jack's is: 2L
\n" );
document.write( "We then get: L + 2L = 45
\n" );
document.write( "3L = 45
\n" );
document.write( " \n" );
document.write( "

\n" );
